About the same time a schooner

New York SUM-


Frederick Stow, who is employed by
the Adams Express Company ia this
city, and Frederick Chamberlain, q
clerk with Winslow, Lanier & Co.,
both residing in Summit, n. j., were
inspecting the Seal mansion in course
Of construction there on Sunday after
noon, and as they were returning home
at 5 o'clock they were startled by
woman's shrieks FOR help. Hurying
in the direction from which the sound
came, they saw roughly-dressed man
throttling woman and trying to force
her to the ground. Mr.. Stow flung
the man TO one side and demanded
what his actions meant. The man re-
piled something about the woman not
giving him money which was due him,
and, turning sulkily away, he disAp-
peared.
Thinking the fight was the result of
some domestic quarrel. the girls res
cuers were about to leave her alone,
when, to their surprise, they discovered
her TO be Mary Fitzpatrick, the seven
teen.year-old daughter OF Frank Fitz-
patrick. of West Summit. Her face
was covered with blood, her hair dis
heyelled, and her apparel so torn and
disordered that she was almost beyond
recognition. She said she was iust re-
turning from visit 70 her parents, aud
was on her way TO the residence Of Mr..
John q. Porter, where she is employed
a. a waitress. While passing along
Springfield avenue she was startled by
some one hurrying up behind her, and
before she could turn she received a
Diow on the side OF her head which
Knocked her down the embankmont
Her as'ailant then sprang at her. and a
desperate struggle followed. She had
almost been overcome when STOW and
Chamberlain appeared.
An alarm was given, aud at late
hour on Sunday night Daniel Daily,
who said he was from Elizabeth. was
arrested by Officer Walsh, Of Summit,
md Anthony Coustock, Of the society

FOR the Suppression OF Vice. When
he wss brought before Miss Fitzpatrick
she fully identified him as her asssilant.
He was given into the custody OF Oiii-
Ger Mcllick Martin and lodged in the
Summit jail.
Yesterday morning the residents OF
Summit were greatly excited. and
threats of lynching Daily were heard
on all sides. Justice Smythe, before
whom the prisoner was taken, remand
ed him to Jail, and sent gord to Prose
cutor Wilson, of Elizabeth, to come at
once TO Summit and take charge Of the
man. He was taken to Elizabeth yes
terday afternoon.
Miss Fitzpatrick is an unusually
pretty girl, and a general favorlte
among Summit people. She was quite
nervous yesterday from the effects oil
her encounter, but beyond a bruise on
her face and general soreness OF her
muscles she was unhurt.
Daily has been employed as house
painter in Elizabeth. He was working,
however, upon job in Summit. He
was found by the officers in bed in his
clearinghouse. There is no reason to
believe he ever saw Mary Fitzpatrick
before the assault, and she has always
borne good character in the village.

TEN THOUSAND MASONS.
The Celebration I'm Maya Relic of
the Past-The First Grand
Masters Chair.
baltimore SUM-

The centennial celebration Of the
Maryland Grand Lodge Of Ancient,
Free and Accepted Masons in Balti-
more on May 10th, 18th, and 10Th
promises to be memorable event in the
Masonic world, and also an interesting
occasion for outsiders, as nearly 10, 600
visitors are. expected here from differ
emit parts Of the United States, the Can
adas, and Europe. The first two days,
Tuesday and Wednesday, will be devoted
to private meetings, and on Thurs
day the public celebration will take
place. There will be a great street
parade on that day, big meeting at
the Acadomvof Music, where Mr.. John
NJ. Carter will deliver an historical
oration, and afterwards banquet at
the Hotel Rennert, and collations and
amusements of various sorts at five OF
the largest halls in the city. To-mor-
row night at Masonic Temple Concert
Hall masS-meeting will he held
with a view to giving the public
an idea of the magnitude of the
coming celebration. Brief speeches
will he made by the grand master,
Thomas j. Shrvock John NJ. Car
ter, Ferdinand G. Latrobe, and John
l.. Thomas. At the Academy of Music
meeting the chair which was used by
the first grand master of Maryland will
be placed on the stage. Dr. John Coats
was the first grand master. He was
born in Philadelphia, served creditably
in the Revolutionary war, was with Ar
mold in his Canadian campaign, was a
comrade of Aaron Burr, was deputy
grand master of the Pennsylvania Grand
Lodge, was instrumental in organizing
three lodges on the Eastern Shore Of
Maryland as early as 1878, and was unani-
mously selected grand master of the
Maryland Grand Lodge in 1857. He
served five terms as grand master, and
died in Easton, Talbot county, Novem-
Der 30, 1910, highly esteemed and re-
spected by all who knew him. The
old chair used by DR.. Coats was pre-
sented by DIR. c. c. Cox to the Rev.
John n. McJilton.. who was grand mas
ter in 1868, who in turn presented it to
the Grand Lodge. A subscriber of the
San suggests that it would be an appro-
pirate thing on the part of the Masonic
fraternity TO recognize in some manner
at this celebration the patriotism, use
fulness, and uprightnesss of DIR. Goats.

EDITORIAL AMENITIES.
New Orleans. Editors Who Are Ex-
peeted 10 Take the Field
of Honor.

A New Orleans special says: The
community is considerably excited over
a war between the EUeni,ig States and
the Picdy0aC, which has degenerated
into an abuse of individuals, and
threatens to eliminate in a duel under
the code, if not in street fight. The
day last week following the introduc-
ton Of the suit by the Attorney General
OF the State against the Cottonseed-Oil
Trust Company in the courts of this
city the Picdyunc commented on the
proceedings in sub-editorial, in which
the oil trust company was very roughly
handled. The day following that the
Pic0yuoIe contained a regular editorial
defending the Oil Trust and intimating
that the Acknowledgement was the tool
OF stockholders. The States called
attention to the difference between the
two articles, and the war opened.
Yesterday the Pic0DIiRe had per-
sonal attack on II. j. Hearsey and
George w. Dupree, editor and proprie-
tors OF the ,&atcs, and j. Pinakney
Smith, manager Of that paper. They
were charged with being "pap.suck-
ers, and with having changed from
"reformers " to supporters and bench
men Of a corrupt political ring in con-
sideration OF public pap This eve
ming the States denounces H. G. Par
ker, editor of the Picayune, as hired
bnlly and assassin, coward, &C., and
thus the matter stands for the present.
Hearsey, Dupree, and Parker have each
been ON the field Of honor as princi-
pals, Parker having fought in the ia.
nous duel in which Major Burke was
wounded Their physical courage is
not doubted by any one, and bloody
termination Of the controversy is ex-
pected.

An OLD SHELL EXPLODES
And Injuries Six Persons. Two Of
Them Fatally.

A special to the Baltimore American
from Ha1per's Ferry gives the particu-
lars of terrific explosion of an old
shell with serious results to six
persons. The shell was an army
relic. 1t he'd been standing for
twenty-three years on the side of
Bolivar Heights, one of the most
beautiful of the elevations over
looking Harper's Ferry. Yesterday
afternoon Frank Willis and Jesse
Jones probed the old shell with an
iron rod, their intention being to get
what powder out OF it they could. A
crowd of fifteen or twenty congregated
around the place to witness the opera
ton. Everything went along all
right until the iron set fire to the shell
and caused the explosion. The effect
was Undesirable. The crowd was
knocked down and scattered, and the
follewing-named persons received Sc
rious injuries:
Agnes Willis, aged fourteen years, had
her right leg blown of below the knee.
She is not expected to live. Her bro
ther, George Willis, aged six years. had
his left leg broken. Frank Willis,
father of the two children, and one of
the men who was fooling with the shell,
was badly burned about the face. Jesse
Jones had his hand broken. William
Turner'S foot was blown off. Edward
Peles had his leg and jawbone both
broken and received other injuries
about the head. He will probably die.
The force of the shell was very great.
Pieces of it passed through the house
owned by Albert Cockerill and tore
away windows and plastering, and an
other piece went through the dwelling
of Edward Poles, which was over a
hundred yards distant The noise was
very loud, and it attracted many people
from the town. The victims are suffer
ing greatly. They have good medical
attention. There are other old shells
around Harper's Ferry, but they will be
let severely alone in the future.
